Our 2017 records show we received over 700 calls from individuals seeking some for of emergency assistance. Streetreach provided 654 Emergency Night Stays to 131 individuals . This does include (4) seniors over 65, (7) veterans, (15) youth between 16-19 yrs. old, (11) children under 16 yrs.

Since we are a 100% volunteer organization we are proud that we were able to provide this many services. This was our busiest year ever, and we also housed long-term in campers. This allowed for families to seek resources.

This count does not include (2) individuals that have been housed in our office for 9 months & 2 individuals that have been housed in a camper on our property for 4 months.

These figures do not include assistance with rental assistance, electric bills, gas vouchers or food packages.

We do expect to see this trend to continue due to NO permanent shelter, No public transit system, lack of affordable housing and the opioid crisis.

Please keep in mind that we are ALL VOLUNTEERS and may not be available for several hours. Since NO one is allowed into sheltering facilities after 6pm, all calls received after that time will be returned the following day. This is for safety reasons. If it is an emergency, please call 911.

At this time we have NO FUNDS for POWER STATS.

Financial support is critical to our daily operations and every little bit counts! This winter has been extremely hard with the low temperatures and prolonged cold. A simple monthly commitment or one time gift goes a long way. We appreciate your support, it really does change the lives of the individuals we serve.

As
we confront the challenges of the future, we know that the generosity
of those who assist us will make all the difference in our success. We
are a 100% volunteer organization, therefore all donations go to
directly assisting the hungry and homeless. That is why we seek your
prayers and support.

We
also want to make sure that you benefit in this process. In addition
to making a difference in the lives of our needy neighbors, you are
being a witness to the watching world of God's unconditional love, and
you are improving communities.

Most
importantly, we are in ministry together collectively, no matter what
your denomination is; realizing that in order to fulfill our mission, we
must be a Body of participants working in unity and not simply
spectators.

This year we have been busier than ever! From January 1, 2017 - present we have already provided over 620 Emergency Overnight Stays via
of motels, churches and campers. Keep in mind that many of our guest were able to stay
over 30-90 days due to utilizing campers. We also have housed 4
individuals for over 6 months as of today.Our vision is to see the homeless recieve the best assistance available in our county to fit their personal circumstances.

On behalf of Brunswick County Streetreach Board of Directors we want to THANK YOU for caring about the less fortunate.

As I look back at the last 12 months, I’m amazed at the incredible things the Lord has done and full of holy expectation for what HE will do in 2017.

During this last year, we were able to reach many more people than in years past, due to having a satellite office located in the Shallotte area – and by God’s grace, the people we reach / reached are being powerfully impacted through the love of God's people. What an amazing day to be alive in the service of the King!

This year we will continue to seek direction and guidance on how to improve our programs, meet more needs and seek new ways to unite the body of Christ.

Assisting with housing / job searches

Our greatest need for the upcoming year is of course a new ministry van, and 4 door truck (van is 12years old & z71 Truck is now 23 years old and they have served us well!)

We desperately need the truck to transport our trailer and supplies and the Van is used to transport homeless & volunteers. We will continue to keep this in much prayer and so desire yours. We are humbly grateful for our partners, and for the work God is doing in the lives of countless individuals. As we look to the exciting future of this ministry, we are dependent on your participation so that more lives may be restored during the year.

We strive to excel in the provision of emergency food, clothing, shelter, for the poor and addicted.Low-income families are given access to the resources they desperately need through this vital program including emergency food boxes, clothing, hygiene products, referral assistance, community-based events, warm coats, back-to-school supplies, mentoring, Bible studies and life skills training. With the help of donors and volunteers we have expanded our services to assist the poor in Brunswick County, New Hanover and Horry County, SC. This is due to many of the surrounding shelters house our residents. Therefore we feel the need to assist them!

This past year has been extremely challenging with the wet, then extreme heat and brutal storms, however through your help, we have created a movement; an army of achievers; a generation of believers; a corps of community volunteers rolling up their sleeves to build the hope and future people deserve. We strive to share God’s love by providing life-giving resources, shelter, meals and Christ-centered gatherings to people living on the streets. We offer educational programs and promote healthy choices to help the less fortunate become productive citizens.
